Trans code is same as engine except the D4 light flashes instead of Check Engine Light. good luck _____________________________ See you down the ROW 1994 Accord EX (in reply to slayer712accord) Post #: 2

About the tachometer.....does it bounce intermittently?  Does it work sometimes but not all the time?  Does the engine seem to "shudder" a bit when the tach is not working?  Get back to me on those, I may be able to help you resolve your tach issue. Oh and by the way, the 95 V6 is OBDII.  There is a plug in port to pull the "check engine" codes behind the ash tray.  Pull the ash tray rearward to see the port.  Take the car the AutoZone or Advance Auto Parts and have them pull the codes with their code reader.  They will do it for free.  Post the code numbers here.  The codes should be in the format of PXXXX. < Message edited by 00AccordLX5spd -- 3/19/2008 7:24:42 AM > _____________________________ 2000 Accord LX Sedan F23A1 5spd -Short Shift Adapter -eBay SRI w/ K&N 1995 Accord V6 Sedan AT - AKA "the money pit" 1991 Mustang LX 5.0 Convertible - my daily driver all through college - now sits in my dad''s garage - needs a little TLC (in reply to TexasHonda) Post #: 3
